INFO RATES About Us The word boudoir can have many meanings and brings to mind various images. To me, boudoir imagery is sexy and sensual, beautiful and styled, flirty and fun. My name is Cheryl Jones and I photograph intimate portraits in Seattle. My mission is to help women of any age, size or shape feel confident and sexy by creating effortlessly beautiful images through an empowering, pampering, and uplifting experience. The studio is the largest studio in Seattle dedicated entirely to boudoir portraits. It is designed and decorated with modern and vintage inspirations for endless possibilities to match your style and preferences. I approach boudoir sessions with the intent to not only capture sensual images, but capture your personality too. With use of light, posing instruction, and expert retouching I will create tasteful, gorgeous images you will be proud of sharing!
What To Expect First, we ll set up a time to chat so I can get to know you and answer any of your questions about boudoir which will help me make it a truly customized experience. When you arrive for your session, your professional stylist will be there ready to make you look beautiful! You re invited to get comfortable and unpack your clothes in the dressing room. I also have a full closet of corsets, nighties, and accessories for you to use if you want! During the session I will take care of set design and instruct you through various poses, so you don t need any modeling experience! I promise that not only will we have fun, you will love the experience as much as you will love the photos. After the session is over, you re invited to take a coffee break in the neighborhood. When you return your images will be retouched and ready to view! You ll pick out your favorite photos and decide if you want them printed in a photo album or as a collection of small prints. The finsihed work will be ready in about 2-4 weeks after your session!

Just writing to let you know how it went last night. He was at a loss for words for sure. I think I heard a WOW!, a Holy Shit!, Are you serious!?!, These are amazing.you look amazing!! It sure was fun to sit back and watch him as he turned each page. The smile on his face was like one I have never seen before. He says this is definitely the most special gift he has ever received. And he says, You tell Cheryl that I said thank you for capturing my woman s beauty the way she did. He is very happy. (And then he said, I cant wait to show these off babe! ). Everything turned out so perfect, and I thank you again. I will definitely be spreading the word about you and showing off your art to others. And I will be back to do it again someday! I wanted to thank you for making my session on Sunday such a wonderful experience. I was really nervous going in not sure if I would feel comfortable doing this. But you made it so easy to feel comfortable. The pictures we reviewed were amazing I still am trying to figure out how you were able to make the photos of me look so good. I guess I didn t see that person in me before these pics. Again thank you so much! He LOVES the photos! Thank you again. He was so surprised at how amazing they were. He loved how you took the pictures too. He woke me up in the middle of the night just to tell me how much he liked the pictures again. Lol! Holy mother, your pictures are amazing! I ve never felt photogenic well, ever. Thank you for a great photo shoot and making things so relaxed. Hey just shooting you an email so you know I got my photos and I can t tell you how excited I am not to mention how excited my boyfriend is. I think they are perfectly flirty and fun just cute enough for a soon to be married couple. Just the simplest fact that he will have fun photos to look forward to has made the process of deploying a little easier. So I hope that every month you can think to yourself and know you had a hand in doing the good deed of cheering up a soldier across the world. Thank you for everything. Hi Cheryl, thank you so much for the beautiful pictures that you took yesterday, I love them. I had an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life, thank you for a beautiful MEMORY!!! There are not enough words to thank you for what you have done for me! Thank you for helping me finally see the beautiful woman I have become. Every woman should spend a day with you! I truly love you and I promise, you will be seeing us again for our wedding. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for making it such a wonderful experience. He absolutely loved it and was completely surprised! He thought I was getting him Air Jordans, but when he saw what it really was, he couldn t stop smiling. He was super impressed that I was willing to even do something like that! I ve caught him just staring at the picture on the wall too! It s facing his side of the bed, so every time he gets out of bed, he sees me! Sorry it s taken me so long to write and tell you about my husband s reaction to the book. He loves it, of course. His jaw dropped as I predicted it would when I gave it to him. He made lots of little noises of shock and delight as he paged through it the first time. He said he never would have guessed that I d do something like that! Thanks again for a fun experience and for making me look so good! I just wanted to say thank you for my session on Thursday!! I seriously never in a million years would think I would actually feel relaxed and comfortable doing a shoot like that. It was really fun getting to know you and hanging out for a while too! I will definitely be by to do another one maybe for an Anniversary or Christmas present. Anyways, just wanted to say THANKS!!!! Thank you, Cheryl! I couldn t believe how beautiful the pictures were. I definitely don t feel that beautiful, so it was nice to feel that way for the day. Thanks for capturing my good side and being so easy to work with. It was a much better experience than I thought it would be. You made me feel really comfortable and I actually had fun. I have to say, you really captured some great pictures of me. I love how you made my eyes shine! I can t wait to show the photos to my fiance. Thank you for making the shoot comfortable and fun. It was just wonderful and I would do it again in a heartbeat!
